Three gunmen rob fast-food patron

Three gunmen robbed a man Tuesday night in the parking lot of an Athens fast-food restaurant, Athens-Clarke police said.

The victim said he had just bought food at Krystal, 1095 Prince Ave., and was in his car about 9 p.m. when the men approached with guns drawn and demanded money, police said.

The 27-year-old victim, who lives off Barnett Shoals Road, said he gave $600 to the robbers, one of whom fired a shot before they sped away in a silver BMW, according to police. The man gave chase but lost sight of the car on King Avenue.
